I Iff* I rial In l as** Against umnttOmw Company. . j Colunihi i. March 1.? Reversing the Circuit Court In the anSC of Maggie K. Beusloes ct al, against the Sou'h Ulantle States Insurance Company, the Supreme Court today decided ? cast involving an albged fraud in an ^ nsurance policy. The decision is by ustlce Eugene B. Gurry and is con urred In by all the Justices save ustlce C. A. Woods, who tiled a dts xcntlng opinion. Tho case involved an Insurance pol? icy of $2.000 and was brought by the executors under unusual eiremstan ces. ? There are certain questions in the nsurance policy relative to the health of the Insured that It is necessary to answer and after these questions had been answered the Insured signed a statement that the answers were true. One of the questions was: "State all diseases you have had during the past five years that have required medical or surgical treatment." Answer: "No." The same was true of other ques? tions asked. Joseph B. Huestess. of Bennettsvllle. being the insured. The insurance company then, alter the death of Huestess, six months if ter the pollcv was issued, declared that the statements were untrue and that the contract was made under fraud. After hearing testimony, the Judge directed a verdict for the defendant company. From this an appeal was taken. The Circuit Judge's decree made it unnecessary for the insurance company to pay the face value of the policy. The Supreme Court reverses this and the case goes back for a new trial. Some interesting matters were brought out at the trial. It was prov? ed that Mr. Huestess had been ill for several years, suffering with kidney trouble. As a matter of fact, he died August 9, 190S, the Insurance policy having been taken out in November 1907. Mr. Huestess died of Bright's disease. The Insurance agent, it was proved at the trial, had told Mr. Huestess that It made no difference If he had been refused insurance before in oth? er companies, that he would like for that particular company's doctor to examine him. After the examination Mr. Hues t#??w wa? nltnwnd *^ tali.* the i'ice. a.tV.wirh. ,icc\>] iing to som** Qi the testimony, he had warned th? i ? gf to.<? tie h?d been undoi treat? ment t',..v'|.pt the stat f?'ni i?. - ?? < in tne policy tnat he had not been sick. etc. The Supreme Court reverses the Circuit Court's rulings In several par? ticulars. One of them Is that the question of whether or not Mr. HueMt'^i is.i.H gui!t\ or conscious fraud should have been submitted to the Jury. The Supreme Court also reviews the statements thur the agent told Mr. Huestess that he had Just got some? one In North Carolina to take out in? surance after that person had been turned down In other companies. The Court reverses the Circuit Judge, except that Justice Woods, In ? dissenting opinion, says that under the decisions the Clrcit Judge was right in directing the verdict. The case goes back therefore for a new trial. Of interest especially because the defendant c ompany is a South Caro? line railroad, Is the case of T. Parker Brown against the Northwestern Railroad Company, of South Carolina, a decision In which was handled down today by Justice Eugene B. Gary. The plaintiff secured a $250 verdict for damage to his lands on account of overflowing by the defendant com? pany. , The exceptions are only of legal Interest and the verdict of the Circuit < Ourt is affirmed. Justice C. A. Woods files a dissent? ing opinion on the ground that there was no evidence of wllfulness or wan toness, and the Judge should have charged that punitive damages could not be recovered. The same question was involved in the oaSS of E. J. Touchberry against the same railroad. The verdict in this case was $300 for the plaintiff. Mr. Touchberry will get his money, as the Supreme Court afllrms the lower <'ourt, with the same dissenting opin? ion by Justice C. A. Woods Church Hot Supper.

Danville Police Chief Exposed a* 12s oaped Convict, Danville, Va?, March ~. -Thomua Bdgar Btribllng, who for live yeari has been chief of police of Danville, n*ai nrreeted tins afternoon as an ?soaped murderer from the Hamilton, Harris county Qa>, prison, in he was tried for murder, convicted and sent' need to life imprisonment. He escaped pending a motion for a new trial. Stribling cooly and promptly con? fessed when the requisition papers were read to him. lie will be taken back tonight. Since he escaped Strib llng was married. He is the father jf 10 children. , The arrest and exposure of the chief of police was made this after? noon by J. W. Smith, secret service agent, and W. W. Boisseau, deputy city sergeant, and created a wide? spread sensation. For the past six years Stribllng hus been living here, no one for a moment suspecting his identity. Efforts were made a number of times to trace up some shady spot in hi.-, past life in criminal trials, but not an inkling of his prison career was brought out. He was first employed as night watch? man for the Southern Express com? pany. About five years ago he was elected as a patrolman on the Dan? ville police force and after serving about six months was advanced to chief. His advancement was due in a great measure to his cool nerve and fearlessness, though he was criticised severely for his almost uncontrollable temper. The election of a chief of police for another term of two years was to have been held tomorrow night and it was generally thought that the incumbent - would be chosen to suc? ceed himself, although he was bit? terly oposed by Police Sergeant Bell. Stribling In his official capacity had many influential friends and during his residence here had never been carged with any offense other than those resulting from outbursts of temper. Stribllng shot and killed William Cornell in Georgia and was being held in prison pertding a motion for a new trial. His brother-in-law, who was Implicated in the killing, was given a long term, but was pardoned. After his escape from prison Strib? llng was joined by his wife and chll I dren j Ii?, was allowed marly two hours tonight i?, HJ h-s family farewell at his home, but did not break down, 1 av< 11 f r a moment a in prisoner was taken to Georgia tonight. Before leaving he said he killed Cornell for a criminal assauH upon hlB sister. Stribling hopes to secure a pardon. CIiEalSOX'8 FFKTILIZFK TAX. ghataansed Amount win Reach $:ioo, 000 this Year. Columbia, March 2.?It is estimated that ClSmSOn CollSgS Will receive this year approximately $300,000 from the fertilizer tag tax. The amount re? ceived by the institution last year was nearly $250,000. It Is thought that at least 1,200.000 tons of fertilizers will be sold to the farmers of the State during 1911. There has been much discussion as to how thf fertilizer examinations are made. The State is divided into fourteen districts .there being an inspector for each district. During the fertilizer season it is the duty of these inspec? tors to draw samples from every place where fertilizer is sold In their districts and to send these samples to Clemson College for examination. Un? der the law if these samples are found to be deficient in any manner, a refund must be mads by the fertilizer com? panies. The samples drawn by the inspectors ar- analyzed by expert ehemlsts. Thsess chemists only know the samples by number and do not know the name of the company man? ufacturing them, Si has been charg? ed.
